| Abstract | In the study of photocatalytic and photoactivated processes and devices a tight control on the illumination conditions is mandatory. The practical challenges in the determination of the necessary photonic quantities pose serious difficulties in the characterization of catalytic performance and reactor designs and configurations, compromising an effective comparison between different experiments. To overcome these limitations, we have designed and constructed a new illumination system based in the concept of the integrating sphere (IS). The system provides uniform and isotropic illumination on the sample, either in batch or continuous flow modes, being these characteristics independent of the sample geometry. It allows direct, non-contact and real time determination of the photonic quantities as well as versatile control on the irradiance values and its spectral characteristics. It can be also scaled up to admit samples of different sizes without affecting its operational behaviour. The performance of the IS system has been determined in comparison with a second illumination system, mounted on an optical bench, that provides quasi-parallel beam (QPB) nearly uniform illumination in tightly controlled conditions. System performance is studied using three sample geometries: a standard quartz cuvette, a thin straight tube and a microreactor by means of potassium ferrioxalate actinometry. Results indicate that the illumination geometry and the angular distribution of the incoming light greatly affect the absorption at the sample. The sample light absorption efficiency can be obtained with statistical uncertainties of about 3% and in very good agreement with theoretical estimations. |
